AKROWAX Micro 23 is a 100% microcrystalline wax.
Microcrystalline refers to the complex mixture of straight paraffins, branched paraffins, as well as mono and polycyclic aliphatic materials.
The high molecular weight gives this wax a high melt point: the branching results in a flexible wax film.
AKROWAX 23 migrates slowly to the surface of a rubber part.
For this reason it should not be used alone for ozone protection.
Typically 23 wax is blended with fast migrating paraffin waxes to provide a bloomed film that
has good flexibility and has a wide service temperature range.
Akrochem has a wide line of preblended waxes to fit most applications.
Microcrystalline wax also functions as a good internal release and flow promoter in rubber compounds.
Akrowax Micro 23 complies with FDA regulations, 1156 (Direct Food Additive), 2586 (Indirect Food
Additive), 2520 (Adhesives), and of course 177.2600 (Rubber Articles Intended For Repeated Use). |
